For the client side command line there is also 
"/cygdrive/C/WINNT/system32/NSLOOKUP.EXE" on some Win32 OS's but because 
it is not Cygwin aware you can not use it in a pipe, popen, perl 
open(X,"cmd |"), or by greping the stdout for the desired patterns 
within a script. I hve been looking for something to do a little 
scripting of my custom dynamic DNS updates at home and found the perl 
Net::DNS package yesterday, but alas, installing via CPAN.pm it failed 
some of its tests. I'll have to look into this package a little more 
when I have the time.
